Psalms 52
Open in the reader1Unto the End. A Contemplation of Beloved, when Anxious-One the Edomite came and told Asked-For, "Beloved has gone to the house of My-Brother-is-King."
3Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.
4Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.
5You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth. Selah
6You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.
7Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
8The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,
9“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”
10But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.
11I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name— for it is good— in the presence of Your devoted ones.
